"I wish Commander in Chief Barack Obama had read the the army training manual on Arab culture his underlings do. He would have understood better Hosni Mubarak and avoided needlessly enraging America’s Arab allies. For much of the misunderstandings engendered by the Egyptian president’s de facto speech was related to Mubarak’s desperate efforts to leave office without losing face.
The manual informs US soldiers that...
Honor – Very Important amongst Arabs. Honor will be protected and defended at all costs.Shame (especially against family) – avoided at all costs, insults and criticism taken very seriously."
